Portrait of a woman 17th century

This anonymous 17th-century drawing depicts a woman in a simple yet elegant pose, her gaze directed outward, engaging the viewer. The artist's use of delicate lines and soft shading captures the subject's features with a sense of intimacy and realism. The woman's elaborate collar and clothing suggest a person of stature, perhaps of the upper class. This portrait, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the lives and fashion of individuals during the 17th century.
